Although we have not received any official ac count'of the annexation of Holland to France, yet there can exist no doubt of the fad. S-,me import ant change has long been'expeaed in Holland, but whatever reludauce the Dutch • felt s in the first in statice, to have a Monarchical Constitution and a Foreign Monarch' imposed upon them, we are fully convinced that iliey had now rather remain un (ler the Government of Louts BUONAPARTE; than submit to any change. BuoNApAa'rE, has long viewed the Mildness of his brother's" Government, and his disposition to promote the tracfe of Holland, with dipleasure. In the Autumn of 1807, when the stria repiations for preventing all intercourse between this 'country and Holland were first car . tied into eirea, Louis did every thing in his power to soften ,their nperatiou, and.BUON4II34IITE then , held out a threat, both to his brother and to the People of Holland, that unless the regUlations were observed wi!li the utmost rigour, he would send -them ,JOACIUM MURAT for a King... This , threat for a time produced some effect; , but still Louts, from" time to time expoied himself to the serioat charge of having some feeling for the dis . tresses of ti.ose over Whom he was appointed to reign. The consequence has been, that he has been rernoi , a' Boland has now lost every vestige of 'inde pendence, and will, very soon lose the verx, very small remains of her once extensive commerce.- French Custom-House Officers, supported by French will exercise their tyranny and rapacity without mercy, and without controul. The Diller', who, a century and a halt ago, bid de fiance - to the whole power Of Louts' XIV. must' now - submit, without a struggle, to become a pro vince of France, without even having the melancholy col.rlation of being upon a leic;ting with, their fel-• low slaves. However averse they may be to this in corporition, we are con, inced they will h übmit xith out resistance. They have already lost their inde penuence as a nation, their freedom as individuals, - and their commerce : when they had all these to fi g ht for, they shrunk from the contest; it cannot.be supposed that they will take vp,arms now that they have nothingleft to contend kr. Our Readers will fin-1 in our subi,Equeht columns, extracts from Hamburgh Papers, which reached ui this morning. Yesterday his rviy i--I,llneDz the Duke of YORK enterialned a selea party. with an elegant dliner, at his h..use in the Stable-yard, St. James's. The Danes are enforcing their commercialrestric tive ianvs.--Three American ships, the Belvy, the Commerce, and the Native, were seized at Tomlin gen, ou snspicion that their papers were irrorrea, and that they came from. British ports. It appears• by letters of subsequent dates, that the same ships were afterwards released, their papers hm‘itii2; been sent t- - ) Copenhagen,%.v here they were pronounced to . be striE,tly American. Towards the close of 'Change yesterdly, a ru mour of the decease of BouNArARTE got into circu lation. It was said to have been received both Irons Dunkii-k and Calais. The Dover letters which an nounce the return of the Flag of Truce, do not no tice any report to such an effea having been brought by that vessel. _ _ A detachment of Royal Artillery drivers marched on Monday from Exeter to Plymouth Dock, where they will be joined by 100 more of the same corps, and will embark, as ,sen,t as transports can be got ready, for Portugal. Several pieces of heavy ord nance; and other ~military stores, .are also collect ina there for the saute destination. Extract of a let tin - dated Baltimore, November 24 : " The rage here_ for domestic manufacture exceeds any thing. • They are going about ,with papers for people to sign, that they tr,ll wear no clothing but of American manufacture ; and any one that does not sign, - is looked upon as little better than a traitor., The goods are to be sa,i t o cheaper, but as cheap as tho , e i_nported when all ekpences - and duties are paid. 'l'hit. is a new pretence to injure the commerce of England. They forget that it is. depriving 'their Treasury of the means of supporting Government, because the duty of 17 per cent. gos all into the hands of the manufaeturer, and thus Government will be . obliged to lay direct taxes." TIBERIUs CAVALLO; ESCL.—We are extremely sorry to,announce the death of this Gentleman, be cause it is a loss to science as well as to a numerous circle of friends, by whom his talents were held in high admiration, and his virtues in great esteem. — He has presented to the world many works on Air, Electricity, and other int pornint subjects, and his last work, entitled " Elements f A atural Philose pity," IA ill for ever remain a monument of his know . ledge, candour, industry, and acumen. He was, we believe, a native of Switzerland, but had resided in this country upwards of thirty years, and was uni vernirdly respected by all who knew him, for the pro fundity of his learning,. the affability of his disposi tion, and the mild simplicity of his manners.—He died on Frida Lst, at his house in Welts-street. On Christmas Dey the prisoners in the several Gaols of the City of London, amounting to about 600 in number, were provided with a quantity of bread, meat, and porter, sent to- them by ihe Lord Mayor. Ten chaldrons of coals •wereelso pre viously distributed among them, by order of his Lordship.' There was a time when BUOIcAPARE pretended to have some regard to the will of the penfile, and be fore he usurped the Throne of France, he thought it necessary to make a mock-appeal to the senti ments of Frenchmen, and contrived, by bribes and terrors, to have the appearance of an election in his favour.—But in other Countries he has•imposed upstart Relations and Ministers into the seat of Go vernment, with an utter contempt of the nbtional will. His last outrage upon the feelings of a people who ought to be independent, by annexing Holland to France as a mere province, after he had trampled Upon their hereditary Republican principles, by forc ing a king upon them, is such an accumulation of injury and insult as beggars all description. A duel was fought on Wednesday morning, in the Paddington Canal towing-path, between Mr. C—, a clergyman, and. a Capt. SMITH. The p a rties married two sisters, the daughters of a Ge neral ; and the dispute which led to the duel, ori ginated in' some family matters. Captain S.

PETEUSBURGII, NOV. 29.—Five Russian frigates in the Black Sea have had a very gallant' a6lion with a Turkish squadron, and returned in, safety. The Russian produce here and at Riga, still rises in price. The course of Exchange is falling : it was yesterday on our Exchange florins Banco, on Hamburgh. Dutch ducats are worth nine rubles in bank paper. The winter has set in with severe cold. The plan for removing the merchantmen in Cronstadr, loaded for neutral ports, has, on account of the dif ficulty of the execution, been given up. .The Rus sian frigate Pollux has been wrecked in a storm off, S weaberg. The harvest in the Government of Petersburgh has been more produaive than for these many years past. TraEsTE, Nov. 23.—Most of the rockets which the English have thrown at us, fell in the sea. These infernal machines are formed of tin tubes, about two feet long and three inches thick, filled with com bustibles and balls. They cannot be approached without the greatest danger. The cold has within these few days set in with great severity, and as we can have no communica tion on the sea side, good fire-wood has risen from 100 to 130 guilders the klatten. We have there fore the prospect of a dreadful winter before us. Nov. 26.—0 n the entrance of the French into this town, all Colonial produce has been sequestrated . It is now, along with all the English property, re moved to Venice. We are therefore now placed in the singular situation 'of-looking to other quarters of the Continent for sugar and coffee to supply the wants of this town. Nov. 27.--The English still cruize in - sight of Trieste ; they are six or eight sail strong. They have not however repeated their cruel attempt to set fire . to our unfortunate town, by the infernal COl , l GREVE'S rockets. It was between eight and nine in the evening of the 22d, when about two hundred of these hellish machines were diieel ! - ed against Trieste. Most of them, however, fell in the sea, and only five or six reached the most advanced houses of tke town, where they did no material damage. Some persons were slightly wounded ; but the terror was general, as it was not at first easy to conjeaure how the, terrible scene would end. It was remarked that most of the rockets appeared to be dire6led against the Russian ships at anchor in the inner harbour ; they, how. ever, did not reach thec , . vessels. The French ar tillery kept up a trernendbus fire of 24 and 36 pounders from the castle, and the batteries on the mole, and doubtless prevented the English from approkici.ing nearer to the town. FRON THE MAYN, DEC. g.—lt is reported `that Prince of the Rhenish Confederacy- has resolved to resign the Government of his States, and to pass the remainder of his life in philosophic retirement. HANOVER, Dac g.-It is said that one of the'prin cipal Sovereigns or the Rhenish COl,f,!deracy is to obtain the title of Grand Chancellor of the Empire,. and that other-Kings of. the Confederacy will receive similar titles.

The Commander in Chief ordered the squLte coder command of Col.

In this manner were Abe Turks 'compelled to retreat to their entrench ments, after they had lost 600 men killed, 200 pri soners, and 16 standards. Our loss was about 8A killed, and , 200 wounded. " While this was passing near the village of Ta- tariza, the Turks to -the number of 3000 men, in in fantry and cavalry, made a sortie from the village of Silistria. They made an attack on two squadrons of Olwiopolish Hussars and a battalion of the Peters-- burgh Dragoons, which were posted on the heights, and which were supported .by a battalion of the 13th gagers and a battalion of the Fanagorish grenadiers. This detachment, which was under the.cornniand of of Major-Coneral Count Mocrrcut=Er., drew-up. in order of battle, and drove back the Turks, by send ing, out the sharp shootersand.flanking corps against;. them. " When the aßion began, the right wing of Ge neral BULATOW'S corps had already- arrived. The Turks brought forward a , piece of artillery, and even began to fire with it,. but they 'iVere quickly driven back with it. At last General BULATOW or dered the yagers. to advance upon the left, and the Uhlans upon the right Ranks of the enemy, the sharp shooters and Hankers threw themselves into the gar dens, and not only dislodged the enemy, limn the woods and the marshes, but drove them with great loss into the town. Thus terminated this aetion which lasted eight hours, and disappointed the views of the enemy. Duriog the whole of the aetion there Was On our side only two privates killed, and one officer and 50 privates wounded." LYONS, Nov. 23.—According to letters from Cette, the French ships of the line, put in there on the attack of the English Fleet, sailed afterwards with a favourable wind for Toulon, and luckily' reached that port. 'The inhabitants of Cette re joice at this event, _as they were at first afraid lest the English should bombard the town.
